Chapter 234: The Monk of the Seven Commandments
Just as Lin Fan was pondering for a solution, Xingchen Ling spoke again, and he said, "You can go to some ancient battlefields where a large number of monks have fought, where there will be enough soul power to absorb, and this is far faster than absorbing the soul power of mortals." ”
The soul power of a monk is naturally much stronger than that of a mortal, but it is also very difficult to absorb it.
After all, even if these souls have lost their minds, they still have some bit of nature or memory.
Nothing may happen if you absorb a small amount, but if you absorb a large amount, it will affect your mental health.
This is also one of the reasons why the Soul Hall grabs a large number of mortals to extract souls, their souls are not strong and are easy to absorb.
The souls of those idiots are more pure and will not affect them in the slightest.
Lin Fan knew this, but for the sake of today, there seemed to be no other way.
Of course, if you can find one or two more strongholds of the Soul Palace, you can directly pick them up, and then absorb the soul power in them.
It's a pity that these guys are really like underground rats, and they can't be touched at all.
As for the ancient battlefield, Lin Fan didn't know very well, but this was not a problem, just go directly to Jiu Lilan, the head snake, and ask.
Walking out of the cave, Lin Fan suddenly felt as if someone was snooping around.
He looked around, but in the end he didn't care, after all, this is the hinterland of the Jiuli clan, even if Jiuli Lan trusts him, but the other Jiuli clansmen don't trust him, so it is understandable that he will be monitored.
Soon, Lin Fan found Jiu Lilan and asked her about the nearby ancient battlefield.
After thinking about it, Jiu Lilan took out a map and sketched it on it.
"There have been major battles in these places, and some of them are the most fierce, and there were several small holy places that fought for a piece of ore vein ten thousand years ago."
"There were tens of thousands of dead and wounded monks, and after that, many strange events happened somewhere, so these holy places retreated separately, if you go here, you should be more careful."
"By the way, what are you doing on the ancient battlefield? Do you want to pick up a baby? ”
There is no doubt that obtaining treasures from the dead is the easiest and most convenient, but it also contains great dangers, after all, some evil cultivators can take away the way.
Lin Fan didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "This ninety-nine to one technique is really mysterious, but my nine golden pills can't be divided into high and low for a while, so I thought about using the exercises of the soul hall to condense a soul pill, and use this as a foundation to swallow other golden pills." ”
"In this way, I will be able to complete the ninety-nine return to one without affecting other Jindan, and it will also be of great benefit to my breakthrough in the future."
Jiu Lilan's face was a little strange at first when she heard this, and then she laughed sneeringly: "Soul Pill? Bastard! Hahaha......"
Crisp laughter echoed in the room, and Lin Fan was speechless.
And at this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside, and Jiu Lilan immediately restrained her smile after hearing it, and looked in the direction of the door seriously.
Soon, a handsome man in his twenties dressed in Jiuli costume walked in.
"Holy Maiden, the elders asked me to send you a letter from the Xuanyuan clan at this time."
The man handed the letter to Jiu Lilan.
The latter didn't take it right away, but asked coldly: "I once said, when I talk to people, no one is allowed to disturb me, if there is an emergency, you can report it outside the hospital, have you forgotten?" ”
When the man heard this, his whole body trembled, and cold sweat flowed.
Lin Fan didn't expect that this woman, who was giggling a second ago, would now take out the posture of a saint to reprimand her subordinates.
Jiuli Lan glanced at Lin Fan, and finally didn't say more, but took the letter and said, "Next time you do it again, don't stay in Jiuli City." ”
"Yes, Holy Maiden." The handsome man hunched out, his feet still shaking as he walked.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, Lin Fan said, "Who is this person?" ”
"Ma Zheng is my playmate from childhood to adulthood." Jiu Lilan opened the letter and read it.
Lin Fan looked at her and frowned, "Even if you are a playmate, why be so strict?" ”
"It's not that I'm him, it's that he often doesn't know where he is, and he's changed a lot now...... Forget it, you don't understand. Jiu Lilan closed the letter and said to herself: "This Xuanyuan clan is really good at climbing along the pole, not to mention the letter of distress to them, and to ask us to go to the rescue together, really." ”
Lin Fan chuckled: "Heh, friends, just help each other, otherwise wouldn't it be a gentleman's friendship as light as water?" ”
Jiu Lilan waved her hand and said: "Hmph, alas, forget it, it's useless to tell you, if you go, go quickly, I heard that the exploration of Sky Island is not going well, and the major holy places have their own ghosts, so they will break up tomorrow." ”
"When the time comes, the Xuanyuan clan will definitely directly gather people to do it, and you won't have time!"
Lin Fan nodded, and then flew away.
Jiu Lilan went to write a reply to the Xuanyuan clan.
At this time, Fei Lian came over at some point, he looked at Jiu Lilan who was writing with his head down, and said, "I can see that you seem to be really interesting to him!" ”
"What? Don't try? ”
Jiu Li Lan shook her head: "It's impossible, I just want to make a friend for the Jiuli clan, what I carry, what he carries, is fundamentally different, and it is impossible to come together." ”
"It's Xuanyuan Chihong, if he has half of my eloquence and emotional intelligence, he can be a brother with Lin Fan."
"Or, I can just become a man."
Speaking of this, Jiu Lilan grinned, as if she was joking.
Fei Lian didn't smile, but showed a distressed look and said, "Alas, it's really hard for you." ”
……
Valley of the Fire Clouds.
The land here is as red as fire all year round, and even the clouds in the sky are reflected in the color of fire.
Hence the name: Huoyun Valley.
With the Fire Cloud Valley as the center, the surrounding area is deserted for more than a thousand miles.
Legend has it that ghosts and ghosts are often encountered here, so even caravans often choose to go around rather than go straight through.
Lin Fan hung high in the air, feeling the blazing temperature coming from below, and secretly said in his heart: "Could this be the terrain of the Fire Dragon Diagram mentioned in the Stone King's Secret Technique!" ”
The fire dragon figure is either a high mountain or a canyon as a carrier, winding and twisting, like a real dragon.
Where the fire dragon passes, the red land is thousands of miles, and the red clouds are all over the sky, and there will be a true dragon vein lurking under it, and where the dragon's head is, there must be a treasure.
In the inheritance left by the Stone King, in addition to recording the possible terrain of various treasures, it is more about the analysis of the possible dangers of various terrains.
Although there is a treasure under the fire dragon diagram, it is also extremely dangerous, and it will lead to the heavenly fire to descend into the world at every turn, if it is a weak person, I am afraid that it will be burned to charcoal before it reaches the position of the dragon head, so Lin Fan naturally does not dare to step forward to snatch the treasure.
Instead, they came to a safer position at the dragon's tail.
Here, what Lin Fan saw were corpses scattered throughout the valley, as well as countless broken blades.
From time to time, Lin Fan could still see the soul body that seemed to be a substance, wandering in this valley.
Generally speaking, after a person dies, the soul will gradually dissipate, and only some people with strong cultivation can retain the soul for a certain period of time.
And with the help of some secret treasures, or if the terrain is special, it can also make people's souls stay for a long time.
The topography of this fire dragon diagram is a relatively special terrain, and there is a dragon vein of a great dragon under it.
When the dragon veins converge, they feed back the earth, turning the surrounding earth into a red color, and at the same time, it will also emit wisps of spiritual energy to nourish these soul bodies, so that they can be retained for a longer time.
Therefore, these soul bodies can almost turn into substance and walk on this land.
But that's all, the aura emitted by the dragon vein, although it can nourish the soul, but it can't nourish the consciousness, if the cultivation is not enough, even if there is more aura nourishment, the soul power that it retains is just wandering aimlessly.
Looking at these soul bodies in front of him, Lin Fan walked forward slowly, ready to step forward to refine and absorb the power of these wandering souls.
In any case, try to condense the Soul Pill first, and as for the subsequent strengthening and ninety-nine return technique, let's take it slowly.
He had already prepared for a heavy hemorrhage and went to the major trading houses to buy soul-nourishing medicines or magic weapons.
Suddenly, Lin Fan saw that not far from the valley in front of him, a monk seemed to be chanting and chanting in the valley.
"Is it a soul or a real person?" Lin Fan frowned, he just wanted to hide and take a good look, but at this moment, the monk suddenly stood up and looked in his direction.
At this time, Lin Fan also saw the monk's face clearly.
He was wearing a robe, with a fat head and big ears, quite a Buddha statue, and on the top of his head, it seemed that he had not shaved for a long time, so he grew some black hair, but it was not long, and he could still see the scalp from a distance, as well as the ring scar on the top of his head.
After seeing Lin Fan, the monk stepped on the golden lotus flower and came slowly.
His pace was not fast, but he should have used some secret technique, in short, the ground under his feet was rapidly retreating, and he came to Lin Fan in the blink of an eye.
"Fellow Daoist, the poor monk is polite."
The monk bowed to Lin Fan very respectfully, and although Lin Fan felt a little strange, he still returned the salute.
"Master, it's polite, this is a Jedi, I don't know why Master is here again?" Lin Fan asked.
The monk glanced back at the soul bodies walking in the valley, and sighed: "The poor monk has the seven precepts, and he has the ability to pass by here, but when he sees that there are many undead here, he wants to exceed, but the path is insufficient. ”
"Well, if one of my old friends is again, it will."
After hearing the word Seven Precepts, Lin Fan became vigilant against the monk in front of him.
The monk of the Seven Precepts, if what he said was true, the monk who looked harmless to humans and animals was very likely to be the fourth in the Seven Evils of the Holy City.
Although the Seven Evils of the Holy City are ranked by the major holy places, and the subjectivity is heavier, no matter what, the people on the list are not easy to mess with.
What's more, Lin Fan still can't see through what the other party is cultivating.
While raising his vigilance, Lin Fan also followed his words and continued: "Then I don't know which of your deceased people has a surname, and who is it?" Where are you now? ”
The seven-precept monk looked up at the sky and muttered, "His name is vain, but he is a Taoist, but I don't know where it is." ”
After that, the seven-ring monk looked at Lin Fan with a smile on his face, as if he meant something.
If he can say the word humility, then this person's identity can be determined nine times out of ten, coupled with his expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, Lin Fan has already concluded that he should have seen something.
And after saying this, the monk of the Seven Rings did not wait for Lin Fan's reaction, so he took out the stone table and chairs from the ring, as well as a set of tea sets and placed them.
After everything was placed, he made a gesture of invitation to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan hesitated slightly, but still sat down generously, and then he asked again: "It stands to reason that the super-undead should be your monk's doing?" Why do you have to find a Taoist priest to do it? ”
In the mortal world, monks and Taoists perform their own duties.
Monks generally do white work, burial, excess, and sacrifice.
Taoist priests, on the other hand, hunt ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, and divination.
The parties do not interfere with each other.
When Lin Fan spoke, Qijie had already brewed a pot of tea for him.
The tea is turquoise and fragrant.
He served a bowl for Lin Fan, and then said, "Although Xuhuai is a Taoist priest, he has obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor of the Burning Lamp. ”33
"And the Ancient Emperor of the Burning Lamp is the emperor with Buddhism, and it is effortless for him to surpass these undead."
"And what I have obtained is the inheritance of the ancient emperor of Tongtian, the ancient emperor of Tongtian, is the Taoist ancestor of Zhongzhou, so I am better at catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits."
Qijie is really not shocking, and in just two sentences, he told the inheritance of the two emperors, and he really didn't treat Lin Fan as an outsider.
Lin Fan knew very little about the two great emperors in Qijie's mouth, and he had never even heard of the name of the ancient emperor of Tongtian.
After taking a sip of tea and calming down, Qijie immediately helped Lin Fan to continue, and said: "Fellow Daoist, although you have not directly obtained the inheritance of the Burning Lamp Ancient Emperor, you also understand the scriptures and chapters in it. ”
"If you can, the poor monk also hopes that Taoist friends will help to relieve the pain of these undead souls, so that they can return to dust and earth!"
"Amitabha."
The seven precepts folded their hands and chanted the Buddha's name, looking solemn, but I really can't see the rumors that the Buddhist ban is regarded as nothing.
And Lin Fan understood that this guy should have seen his identity, after all, he came out of Jiuli City, and he didn't use the Chaos Dayan Technique to hide his aura before leaving.
It's not surprising that the other party can see it.
As for the request made by the monk of the Seven Commandments, Lin Fan was a little hesitant.
He came here to absorb these soul bodies, so as to practice his own soul pill, if these soul bodies are exceeded, then his soul pill, I am afraid that it can only be in the soup.
As if seeing Lin Fan's thoughts, the seven-ring monk said again: "Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to make a move, I can divinate for you once as a reward." ”
The monk of the Seven Precepts folded his hands again and chanted the Buddha's name to Lin Fan.
The latter hesitated for a moment and then said, "Well, if your divination is accurate, I will follow you to surpass all the undead here." ”
"Good, good." The seven-ring monk looked at Lin Fan and said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist, please ask." ”
Lin Fan stared at the seven-ring monk and said in a deep voice: "I want to divinate a person's life and death." ”
"Please say his name."
"Tang Xue!"
Hearing this name, the seven-precept monk frowned instantly, and then he left the stone table and walked to the side, and began to chant the scriptures with his hands folded.
With the chanting of the scriptures, in a trance, the originally red clouds in the sky gradually turned black, and a large number of thunder flashed.
Lin Fan had heard from some ancient books that divination would reveal the secret of heaven, and if his Taoism was not enough, he might even be directly wiped out by the sky when divination.
And the more things that change the future greatly, the more intense the heavens' reaction will be.
Bang!
Finally, a blue-white thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the head of the seven-ring monk.
Bite!
A sound of gold and iron intersecting sounded, as if it was a fairy gold collision, and it was extremely crisp.
The seven-ring monk, the black hair that originally grew slightly was swept clean by the thunder light in an instant, and as a result, his head changed from the original fragrant grass to shiny and shiny.
After the thunder fell, the dark clouds overhead dispersed at a rapid speed.
At the same time, the seven-ring monk also opened his eyes, he first touched the top of his shiny head, and then muttered: "Alas, some black hair that was finally born is gone." ”
After a long sigh, the seven-ring monk came to Lin Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist, it's been calculated." ”
"Miss Tang Xue is still alive."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Fan's heart instantly jumped wildly, and he hurriedly asked, "Then where is she now?" ”
The Qijie monk pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Daoist friends are not in a hurry, she has already embarked on a path that did not belong to her, and the future is unlimited. ”
"When the world is in turmoil and strife arises in the future, you two will be able to see each other again."
When Lin Fan was young, he also used to divination, and at the beginning, he thought that those old blind people who set up stalls for divination were quite powerful.
Without saying anything, they told the story of their situation, and then they said some more prophecies, most of which were fulfilled.
But later he learned that it was not that he didn't say anything, but that in the process of talking to those old blind people, his information was taken away by them.
As for those prophecies, most of them are also ambiguous, depending on how you interpret them.
Therefore, after thinking about these things, he often went to the old blind men in Wolong City to smash the field.
After a few times, Wolong City was no longer free of these charlatans.
In Lin Fan's opinion, the words spoken by the Qijie monk seemed to be no different from those charlatans.
But somehow, he vaguely felt that what he said was probably true.
Maybe it's psychological suggestion, maybe it's wishful thinking, maybe it's just an auspicious picture.
After a long time, Lin Fan smiled, and smiled brightly.
For a long time, his worries about Tang Xue's life and death seemed to have come to an end temporarily.
"Okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words!"
After that, Lin Fan flew into the valley and began to chant the Burning Lamp Emperor Sutra.
Some people died, but not completely......
